Finally, a sensibly-worded e-cig survey! Congratulations to Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos!

For those of you who have problems converting:

1 inch = about 2.5 centimeters
1 pound = about 0.45 kilograms

Neither is precise, but those are close enough.

Even easier, I discovered that if you type "kilograms to pounds" (or pretty much any other Metric/English phrase "x to y") into a Google search, a conversion calculator comes up right on the search page.

Oh yes... BUMP. The survey asks intelligent questions.

Done but I fear I may have messed with the results.
I was on lights (.8mg) and started ecigs at 11mg and was perfectly happy with the nicotine level. I even went to 5mg and 0mg with the intention of saying there and possibly even getting rid of the ecig at some point (while keeping it and nicotine liquid around just in case).

But when I went to 0mg IBD, which was already working, flared bad enough the Drs sent me to the ER. At first my diagnosis was Chron's so I spent the summer at 5mg and 0mg. Once I had the small bowel follow through and it showed nothing they changed me to Ulcerative Colitis.
After making it clear that I was talking about ecigs and not smoking my doctors agreed that going back on nicotine may help.

Now I'm on 18mg because of the health issues a lack of nicotine causes not because 11mg (or even 5mg or 0mg) wasn't enough.
But there wasn't anywhere to really clarify the reason for starting at 11mg and going up to 18mg.
It wasn't the ecig or the nicotine that caused me a health problem, it was the lack of nicotine. And that health problem has nothing to do with heart or lungs.

Is it bad that I have those metric conversions in memory? 2.54cm in an inch, 2.2lbs in a kg. 1"x2.54=cm, 1lb/2.2=kg

The goal has been reached, however we will keep the survey open because we have not raised the funds necessary to proceed with the analysis of the data.

We would like to thank the contributors for helping make this survey possible.
